13 Amazing Natural and Unique Phenomenon !!!

Sometimes, Nature shows what its real beauty is ?? And when she show it, there's nothing more beautiful than that beauty. Here is the List of some Amazing natural phenomena that will make u believe that : its nature the more beautiful of all !!! From Red Tides to Fire Whirls, there exists some of the strangest, most interesting natural phenomena on earth. But mind this, some of them are dangerous for humans too. So lets have a look on them and enjoy the natural beauty of mother nature !!!

Electric Blue Seas

This looks like a hot vacation spot in Tron World. It looks like a jellyfish rave. It looks like somebody ate the future and threw it up on a beach. This is actually a bioluminescent bloom,
and it's the result of a mass of naturally glowing plankton washing up
all at once on a single tide. There is zero trickery going on here. If
you were standing there in person, this is exactly what it would look
like. The motion of the ocean agitates the bioluminescent plankton as it
brings them to shore, causing the waves to flare to sudden, brilliant
life.

That's actually an ice fumarole.
A normal fumarole is a vent that protrudes from the ground, allowing
steam from volcanoes to escape out into the open. Of course, arctic
volcanoes have fumaroles, too, but it's so cold that steam particles
freeze upon contact with the outside air, building up and up until you
eventually get massive, 60-foot-high "ice chimneys" inexplicably
shooting hot air out into the arctic wasteland. It makes sense now that
you know the explanation, but if you were an arctic explorer stumbling
upon one of those things for the first time, you just know you'd assume
"giant Eskimos cooking breakfast."

Moonbows

A moonbow is a rainbow
produced by light reflected off the surface of the moon (rather than
from direct sunlight refracting off of moisture in the air. Moonbows
are relatively faint, due to the smaller amount of light reflected from
the surface of the moon. They are always in the opposite part of the sky from the moon.
Because the light is usually too faint to excite the cone color
receptors in human eyes, it is difficult for the human eye to discern
colors in a moonbow. As a result, they often appear to be white. However, the colors in a moonbow do appear in long exposure photographs.

Firebows

High altitude cirrus clouds sometimes contain a large number of
hexagonal ice crystals, and if these are struc by sunlight at just the
right angle, with the sun elevated at least 58 degrees, the sky suddenly
looks like somebody waved a giant magnet in front of an old-school
computer monitor.

Now think about describing that moment to anybody who wasn't right
there with you: You're either getting tossed in the loony bin or hit up
for some of those excellent drugs you're apparently on.

Aurora Borealis

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful events to occur in our world, the Aurora Borealis,
also known as the Northern Lights, has both astounded and amazed people
since it was first discovered. This phenomenon ocurrs when the sun
gives off high-energy charged particles (also called ions) that travel
out into space at speeds of 300 to 1200 kilometres per second. A cloud
of such particles is called a plasma. The stream of plasma coming from
the sun is known as the solar wind. As the solar wind interacts with the
edge of the earth’s magnetic field, some of the particles are trapped
by it and they follow the lines of magnetic force down into the
ionosphere, the section of the earth’s atmosphere that extends from
about 60 to 600 kilometers above the earth’s surface. When the particles
collide with the gases in the ionosphere they start to glow, producing
the spectacle that we know as the auroras, northern and southern.

Mammatus Clouds

Also known as mammatocumulus, meaning "bumpy clouds", they are a
cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud.
Composed primarily of ice, Mammatus Clouds
can extend for hundreds of miles in each direction, while individual
formations can remain visibly static for ten to fifteen minutes at a
time. True to their ominous appearance, mammatus clouds are often
harbingers of a coming storm or other extreme weather system.

Red Tides

More correctly known as an algal bloom, the so-called Red tide
is a natural event in which estuarine, marine, or fresh water algae
accumulate rapidly in the water column and can convert entire areas of
an ocean or beach into a blood red color. This phenomena is caused by
high levels of phytoplankton accumulating to form dense, visible clouds
near the surface of the water. While some of these can be relatively
harmless, others can be harbingers of deadly toxins that cause the
deaths of fish, birds and marine mammals. In some cases, even humans
have been harmed by red tides though no human exposure are known to have
been fatal. While they can be fatal, the constituent phytoplankton in
ride tides are not harmful in small numbers.

Penitentes

These amazing ice spikes, generally known as penitentes
due to their resemblance to processions of white-hooded monks, can be
found on mountain glaciers and vary in size dramatically: from a few
centimetres to 5 metres in height. Initially, the sun’s rays cause
random dimples on the surface of the snow. Once such a dimple is formed,
sunlight can be reflected within the dimple, increasing the localized
sublimation. As this accelerates, deep troughs are formed, leaving peaks
of ice standing between them.

Sailing Stones

The mysterious moving stones
of the packed-mud desert of Death Valley have been a center of
scientific controversy for decades. Rocks weighing up to hundreds of
pounds have been known to move up to hundreds of yards at a time. Some
scientists have proposed that a combination of strong winds and surface
ice account for these movements. However, this theory does not explain
evidence of different rocks starting side by side and moving at
different rates and in disparate directions. Moreover, the physics
calculations do not fully support this theory as wind speeds of hundreds
of miles per hour would be needed to move some of the stones.

Supercells

Supercell
is the name given to a continuously rotating updraft deep within a
severe thunderstorm (a mesocyclone) and looks downright scary. They are
usually isolated storms, which can last for hours, and sometimes can
split in two, with one storm going to the left of the wind and one to
the right. They can spout huge amounts of hail, rain and wind and are
often responsible for tornados, though they can also occur without
tornados. Supercells are often carriers of giant hailstones and although
they can occur anywhere in the world they’re most frequent in the Great
Plains of the US.

Fire Whirls

A fire whirl, also
known as fire devil or fire tornado, is a rare phenomenon in which a
fire, under certain conditions --depending on air temperature and
currents--, acquires a vertical vorticity and forms a whirl, or a
tornado-like effect of a vertically oriented rotating column of air.
Fire whirls often occur during bush fires. Vertical rotating columns of
fire form when the air currents and temperature are just right, creating
a tornado-like effect. They can be as high as 30 to 200 ft tall and up
to 10 ft wide but only last a few minutes, although some can last for
longer if the winds are strong.

Ice Circles

A rare phenomenon usually only seen in extremely cold countries, scientists generally accept that Ice Circles
are formed when surface ice gathers in the center of a body of water
rather than the edges. A slow moving river current can create a slow
turning eddy, which rotates, forming an ice disc. Very slowly the edges
are ground down until a gap is formed between the eddy and the
surrounding ice. These ice circles have been seen with diameters of over
500 feet and can also at times be found in clusters and groups at
different sizes.

2009 Norwegian spiral anomaly

A special mention to it here, On December 9, 2009, a strange phenomenon was witnessed over Russia, and photographed in northern Norway and Sweden. The event began when a blue light soared up from behind a mountain in the north end of Russia. The light stopped in mid-air, and then began to move in circles. Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Once expanded, a green-blue beam of light shot out from the center of the object, lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing completely
